In the past couple years, I’ve lived alone and have allowed myself the occasional all out weekend. Basically, I’ll shed the male trappings and spend the entire weekend as a woman, at home and around my little RV park neighborhood. But Monday mornings I retreat back to male mode.

beginning about 8 years ago, I started experimenting with dressing full time and interacting with the world, spending as much as two weeks straight as a woman. I did everyday activities, traveled, attended theater, and on a few occasions introduced myself anew to friends. I have to confess that I found it liberating and exhilarating.
